Support Georgia’s Future: Give Back to Local Initiatives - Identified by Family Medicine Residents/Medical Students

Who knows better of urgent health care needs in our local communities other than Georgia Academy of Family Physician members – including family medicine residents, and medical students?   In 2024 (to date), the Georgia Academy’s foundation, the Georgia Healthy Family Alliance, has given out over 75 grants to local Georgia communities in health care crises – most of these in health care deserts.

Georgia family medicine residents and medical students are on the front lines of identifying and addressing urgent health needs in our communities. Through your passion and dedication, you’ve spearheaded impactful projects funded by Immediate Needs and Community Health Grants in 2024, such as:

• Disaster Relief Diapers & Formula Distribution in Lumber City
• Street Medicine Outreach in Columbus
• Stop the Bleed Education for the Deaf Community in Atlanta
• Nutrition Projects for at-risk youth at the John Harland Boys & Girls Club
• Mental Health Outreach for West Georgia pediatric patients

These initiatives highlight the power of local action to improve health outcomes statewide.

This December, as part of the Georgia Gives fundraising drive, we invite YOU to help support more of these critical, student- and resident-driven projects. Your gift of $20 to $100 will directly fund efforts like:

• Free clinic visits to our homeless patients
• Walk With A Doc health education programs
• Nutrition and wellness outreach for underserved populations
• Disaster and homeless assistance projects

Your support creates tangible change in the lives of Georgians while empowering future family physicians to lead in community care.  Donate today to build a healthier Georgia! Every contribution drives meaningful impact—together, we can do even more.

Your Giving is Great Medicine!
